Opening the door to Autumn.

By -
So as we start October, we feel the full effects of Autumn. The bizarre 'heat waves' we were given throughout September have quickly faded out and the colder weather, storms and fallen leaves and darker evenings have begun to make themselves at home. I, for one, love Autumn. Bonfire night, Halloween, the cosy clothes that provide a transition into winter and the beautiful coloured leaves. Need I say more? Anyway, to emphasize my love of Autumn, I have decided to complete 'The Autumn Tag' for my next blog post. Kick back with a hot chocolate, snuggle into your granny cardi and read away...!


Okay, we're talking coffee's- what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero etc.? 
It's actually a really sad fact that I talk about often- I don't like hot drinks at all so always miss out on the 'cute' seasonal latte's etc.! It always makes me sad because they always look so nice and have such lovely names but I just can't stand them!! However, my favourite Starbucks treat is a Strawberry and Cream frappucino! Always a must have for me.


Accessories- What do you opt for? Boots, scarves or gloves? 
I am truly awful in cold weather- I never wrap up well enough! I do however love little boots and in the last month have brought 3 pairs!! Little ankle boots are just so adorable and perfect for keeping a bit warmer after the summer and cool enough not to overheat during the transition to winter.


Music- What's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn? 
The only time I listen to seasonal music is Christmas and right in the heat of the summer! Spring and Autumn don't really have any specific songs...however at the moment I am hooked on Sam Smiths 'Not The Only One' and Marina and the Diamonds album 'The Family Jewels'.


Perfume- What's your favourite scent in the Autumn? 
I am loving three of the Victoria Secret scents at the moment- Pure Seduction, Love Spell and Passion Struck. Although they are only body sprays, they last for a good 6 hours without need for reapplication and they are so strong- I am always complimented when I wear them!


Candles- What scents will you be burning this season? 
I love the Christmassy Yankee Candles- but it's a bit early for those! Any sweet or spicy Yankee Candle works for me. The one's in the image below are perfect for Autumn I believe!


What do you love most about Autumn?
Oh goodness, where to start?! My birthday of course! And the obvious Bonfire Night, as I love sparklers, and Halloween. I also love the 'cosyness' of Autumn- the temperature isn't too freezing just yet, it's manageable. And the 'Autumn colours' are all so beautiful too!


Favourite Make-Up look? 
Smoky coloured eyes with a touch of shimmer or some extravagant eyeliner with bronze or berry red lips.

What are you looking forward to most about Autumn?
I have a few media events coming up so I am looking forward to attending those and moving up the media ladder in terms of my future career! I also start my new side job as a Mix 96 Street Star at the end of October which is exciting! And of course, my birthday! Although a little sorrowful it is my last birthday as a teenager...!

I hope you enjoyed this post and learning a few extra bits about me! Let me know what you love about Autumn by completing this post and tweeting me- @flomatthews_ I will read and promote whatever you do! Enjoy...and happy Autumn!

Love from,
Florence Grace

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -
Image
This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
